At this same meeting DR.. Howard
Crosby used the well-worn argument
or illustration about the tiger, and the
necessity, if we could not kill him, of

for that half Of the city. High License
lets the fierce brute range through the
entire city at his pleasure, but ties an
official stamp to the end of his tail

may reasonably be expected that each
succeeding holiday season will be less
and less marked by the crimes which
whiskey leads men to cOmmit.-[Sav
